Abstract
Techniques for access point name and application identity based security enforcement in service provider networks (e.g., service provider networks for mobile subscribers) are disclosed. In some embodiments, a system/process/computer program product for access point name (e.g., APN) and application identity (e.g., application identifier) based security enforcement in service provider networks includes monitoring network traffic on a service provider network at a security platform to identify an access point name for a new session; determining an application identifier for user traffic associated with the new session at the security platform; and determining a security policy to apply at the security platform to the new session based on the access point name and the application identifier.
